The Harbor Master, Capt. Allardyce, has given notice that no boats — meaning cargo or ferry boats — will for the future be permitted . to lie between Tainui street and the upper cml of the Wharf. The u.s. Charles Edward, Capt. Palmer, arrived at the wharf early on Saturday morning. She left Onehunga on Friday, the 4th instant, at 5 p.m., and arrived at Nelson cm Sunday, the 6th, at 7 p.m. Loaded up c<irp> and took passengers for the Coast, and left Nelson on Wednesday last, at 4. 20 p m. , arriving at Westport on the next day at noon, leaving again on Friday afternoon, and arriving here as above. The heavy surf prevented her leaving the river on Sunday, and last evening she was to have sailed for Hokitika, hut did not leave her moorings as the Hokitika bar remained impassable. She will leave to-day for the Manukau. The 3.8. Beautiful Star is expected here from the Buller to-day, and is announced to •&il for the Manukau direct to-morrow. The 8.5.. Alhambra, from Melbourne, dropped anchor off Hokitika on Sunday, and signalled that she had 70 passengers and 75 tons of cargo for that port, in addition to her passenger and freight lists for Greymouth. On both Sunday and yesterday the Hokitika bar was impassable, and yesterday the steamer came on to this port, having given up all hope of being tendered at Hokitika, Last evening the p.s. Persevere went out to tender her, and will bring her passengers ashore this morning. The &s. Tararua, which passed this port on Friday evening without stopping, was detained off Hokitika until yesterday after* noon, in consequence of the impassable state of that bar. Last evening she returned here without having been tendered, and imme> diately the tide served the Dispatch proceeded outside to render that service, which she was prepared to do last Friday evening, had the captain of the Tararua thought proper to drop anohor off this port. Owing to the darkness of the night, and the number of passengers and quantity of cargo to )>e transhipped the tug did not return to port laat evening, but will do so early this morning. Several tenders have been received for raising the s.s. Taranaki. of from £5000 to £7000, but the Company to take nearly all risks.

The wreck of a schooner is officially reported as having been seen on Farewell Spit

A telegram from Wellington, dated the 10th instant, published in the Christchurch papers, says that the Lady Bird returned last night from the south, with the body of the diver named Burton, who was drowned that morning, while engaged at the wreck of the Taranaki. It appears that Burton, who waf> an experienced diver, went down at nine a.m., and signalled all right for a quarter of an hour, after which nothing more was noticed until his red cap was seen floating. Efforts were immediately made to haul him up, but they failed for an hour as the diver was entangled in the riggjng. The body was brought up, and it was then ascertained that tLe helmet had become unfastened.
